Abolishing Fence Rows.

In laying out farms or in reno
ing the fields an important considera-
ton is how many fences and fence
rows can be abolished. When this
question is carefully studied it will be
found that a great gain in land and
ar other in convenience Of working the
field will be easily made. If instead
of fences broad strips of grass are left
as divisions, and to afford space for
turning of the horses and for roads,
nearly all the hay needed may be thus
made, these belts being seeded down
and MANFRED just as ordinary grass
land would have been. One other inn
portant advantage is the almost total
eradication of pestiferous weeds which
find abundant seeding places in the
common fence rors.--AontreGl WI

The IIl-Fated King Ludwig's Belief in Kew
Citations Made by Physiognomy.
The Inflated Louis H., of Bavaria,
was so nervous and impressionable
when boy that some faces not only
repealed, but terrified him. There
were two or three servants whose
features he loathed; but King Maximi-
liam, his father, wishing to cure the
boy of this nonsense, as he called it, In
sisted that they should wait on the
Prince. The father was an honest and
enlightened King, but he was not
wise nor a genial educator. His REM
edy for the boys nervousness only in
tensifed the disorder. For when Prince
Louis met these servants, he would
tremble, shut his eyes, and turn his
face to the wall until they had passed
out of sight. He had several uncon-
genial tutors, and in their presence
this lad would sit dumb and stupid.
They could teach him nothing, for he
would not learn any thing from them.
At last his mother, who had not shared
her husbands opinion as to the best
method of curing the boy, prevailed
upon the King to humor the lads an
tipathies within reason.
The obnoxious servants and tutors
were removed, and attendants and
teachers with whom he could be SYM
pathetic were chosen in their stead. The
indulgence produced good results. The
Prince studied, became less nervous,
and gradually learned to control his
emotions at the sight of disagreeable
faces. But he always remained be-
lever in the trustworthiness of the
revelations made by physiognomy He
once told this antecdote, toillustrate the
fact that one might trust a mans face

fallible, but judging by them, should
say that the person who has just left

great crime, and from his features l
should say this crime was murder. y
Lavater's remarks prompted an inves-
tigation into the persons former life.

a CHEAP CAGE.
Directions to the Boys How to Make
Pretty House for Their Pets at Small

Pretty House for Their Pets at Small
Cost.
Those boys who would like some
quick, easy, cheap carpentry, may
make good substantial squirrel cage
in the following manner: Take piece
of board an inch thick, eighteen inches
wide and three feet long for the bottom.
Fasten upright boards about three feet
high at each end, with the ends round
ed. Now buy from any dealer in hard
ware, piece of coarse, strong wire net
ting long enough to 60 over your
wooden frame; nail it securely to the
end pieces, and to the bottom board on
one side, bending it over the rounded
top. If you nail with stout tacks, the
fastening will be strong enough. and
there will be no danger of splitting
the wood of the ends.
Along the front of the cage the net
ting should stop within three inches Of
the bottom, so as to leave room to put
in drawer, like the drawer of bird
cage, which You must pull out and
clean every day. Make this drawer of
sheet of tin. Any tinsmith will turn
up the sides for You, leaving the front
a little higher than the other side and
ends in order to overlap the netting
on the outside.
If you can procure the wire netting
only of certain width, grade the
length of your cage accordingly.
If you can get stout branching
bough of some hard wood, fasten it Sc
curely from end to end of the cage be-
fore putting on the Wire covering. as
your pet will enjoy climbing about on
it much better than running in re-
volving cylinder, which is neither
healthy nor natural exercise for
squirrel. The end boards should also
be lined with tin if they are not hard
wood, as the sharp teeth of your pet
will soon make havoc with them.
Now for the door: Cut a neat, square
door, four by four inches, and about
three inches from the bottom, in one of
the end pieces; you can fasten it by
hinges and a small button.
For the sleeping apartment cut
round hole in the other end board
near the bottom, about three inches in
diameter, and then fasten upon the
outside neat little tin box, the bot
tom of which must be level with that
Of the cage, so as to present the ap-
pearance of a tiny extension. In this
box there must be hinged door,
large enough to allow you to change
the bedding frequently, which should
be of clean, dry moss or of cotton
wool.
You can also cut small hole in the
wire netting at the top of the cage
large enough to admit a nut, and your
squirrel will soon learn to climb up and
take food from your hand. After cut
ting the hole, bend back the ends of
the wires, SO as to leave no sharp edges.
Give the squirrel p little milk OCCASION
ally. You can put water in a dish like
canary's bathing-cup, which is low
enough to slide in and out with the
drawer. The squirrel will soon learn
to eat bread, wheat and corn, and if
gently handled will soon learn to come
when called and run over his master.
If you arc ingenious, you can make a
neat and comfortable cage from these
directions at a trifiing expense.-Car1cs
